Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Use windscreen' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use windscreen' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

here in Germany, maybe 69% of the rag-top drivers cruise around with the top down, and the side windows up. I just spent 2 weeks in my native land, North Carolina, and observed only 2 rag-top drivers ( many observed) cruising with the top down and the side windows up.
I suspect this a character flaw and I need data.

Well I live in Germany and drive with top down windows up and heater on between 65-72 deg. At least I am a wuss that can drive 150MPH with the top down.
Looks cool imho, I drive my '62 Bug Cab like that all the time, of course my '62 has chrome window frames which gives it a really different look.
Typical German function over form: driver is insulated, heater is more effective, Autobahn speeds maintained.
Great avatar btw.
Windows down - unless the wife complains about being cold (rare in Houston) or having mussed hair. I am surprised about the lack of buffeting with the windows up and the windscreen deployed.
I went to HS and college riding a series of motorbikes. Rain shine, thunderstorm, floods ( no snow where I grew up), I rode those bikes. On the convertible, it's heated seats, top down, leather jacket buttoned up, and... windows down. Windows up = WUSSy
!!
I don't currently own a cab...but in past cars with no top(30 years), windows were DOWN never up. Now however, my wife would have her window up without a doubt.
Ha! That's funny, on my way home from South Carolina I passed 4 Porsches within 2 minutes on I95. The Turbo Cabrio had his top and windows down, the two 944's were coupes but the 997 Cabrio and myself were closed up tight. As soon as I hit a traffic jam, I manned up and "popped the top" with windows down for 300 miles.. I didn't even use the windscreen.
Top down..windows down! My wife has no say in the matter!! I am no wuss!
and whats up raid and pszikla...wife riding shotgun?? Where else is she going to ride??
A WIWU ( Wife In Windows Up) here ........ mine stays down til she gives me the stare down that her hair is messed up! Although she can be a good sport at times and wears a hat
from 5 - 6pm today it was 92 degrees F driving from Phoenix to Tucson. At 6:20, I was wondering, as the car sensor still registered > 90 degrees, when is the *(&*(&*(## thermostat going to drop! I had the windows up initially with the cold AC blasting, but thought about what a wuss I was being, so I lowered the windows and raised the stereo volume, reduced the AC fan (because its irrelevant at 80MPH with windows down) sweated on the leather seat some, but thoroughly enjoyed my ride home!
how about top up and parked in my driveway under a cover!! I know I am a complete wusssssss!! BUT one more month and the baby girl is going to be 1yr.......and legally allowed to drive facing front......is she going to get the wind in her face with everything down!!!
Top-Down-Windows-Down EXCEPT when I get a call on the cell phone.... Windows then MUST go up for the duration b/c I can't hear a thing otherwise....
Oh yeah - my Speedster windows do little to cut down on the wind...
